Exactly, a massive gap between the price of the 3080 and the high end cards that wasn't warranted performance wise, 3080 needed to be £750 really. So I don't think one can infer too much from those cards dropping in price, they don't have any other cards propping them up, there's a big gap for them to fall into £700-£999 range
RX6600 was one of those situations start of February, pretty much every highend/midrange card was either selling out in minutes or priced hundreds over MRSP (sometimes both), every other card of that power was going for £400+ so I decided to jump on it. In a normal market yes £250 would be a proper sort of price. I kind of justified it based on having sold his old card (RX480) for £318 last year, so the actual cost to change of £32 was reasonable even if I'd have got a better deal by waiting.
One impressive thing is the power consumption, TDP of 100W plus 20% boost, a lot more efficient compared to Pascal, I used to have a 1070ti which is similar performance but a lot more power consumption.
